A Short One

CEPT Campus Building usage

High energy, concise and thoughtful. Currently pursuing my undergraduate studies in urban design and theory. My interest lies in speculative design, Landscape Urbanism and emergent technology in design thinking. I am an hard working individual, who is keen to learn and quick to adapt. My strength is my ability communicate through drawings and think critically.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; A Short one â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Contains selected work from recent projects during my undergraduate course. They are varied in terms of skills to concepts. I enjoy explorations in thought processes ,methods and making. These projects are done as part of L2 studios at CEPT University and Internship(s).

Designing for the communities Making a Housing scheme for the Migrants in the patch of land provided.

The Process involved identifying and studying migrant communities and incorporating their housing demands while retaining the spatial qualities of their social structure and day to day life. The evolution of housing settlements through linking and stacking, their processes, determinants/ generations, and resulting patterns were explored in their respective context, exploring the balance between order and complexity. The idea here was to create an adaptive habitat for communities associated with very dynamic and socially interactive live work environment. The space thus created has it’s own characteristics; the occupants have the ability to alter these spaces in a certain extended pattern. The housing scheme thus produced looked at staircases and circulation as prominent interactive, social spaces which full-filled the community’s recreational needs. It follows a certain pattern around the natural contouring of the site, creating social corridors as one moves across the site.

CANAL CRAFT A speculative design approach Narmada Canal

April 2019

asking the question ‘ What Urban centers can provide to small towns and villages ? This Speculative intervention would aim at the villages or smaller settlements which are located spatially along the Narmada Canal, which are so small or insignificant in terms of their presence that often their needs are ignored. This Speculative approach could illuminate thinking on debates about the roles and responsibilities of universities within their wider social settings. ‘that willing suspension of disbelief’, it could offer us lessons about the relationship between universities and the cities or regions that host them. Prompts consideration of the dis-juncture that can arise between the Places where we work and where we live. The existing Canal can be used to create these floating structures which can be modulated , interlinked and can float on the canal and comprise of a Floating Infrastructural system which can enhance and give a sense of ‘function’ to the existing ‘form’ of the Narmada Canal.

CITY MATRIX Lack of data available

Project done with - George Verghese

February 2019

An interactive mapping model. India currently either does not have data on most of it’s infrastructure or it does but has neither placed it on an open platform or is unwilling to share the data with the public. AHM city matrix is at its core is a data collection and visualization project. Often maps and models are unidirectional in interactions. This way people can explore Ahmedabad and even put data onto it. The I pad is a master control for which an app communicates to our computer and is then visualized via Projections. //Features Users can go through historical maps of the city. They can individually pick our wards and see data such as number of bore-wells, green patches, or even routes of public transport. Users can put in data into the model such as experiences or add data into a data set such as the bore-well data base. This Project is currently in development.

This model is an intial step into the world of connected open data resources

IN-BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE Re-programing the Step-well 23° 1’30.74”N 72°35’49.92”E

Panchkuva, Khadia

Ahmedabad Walled City

November 2019

How can a building or a Place Function beyond it’s time and live on to become something else? How can this place, which acted as a place for travelers to find comfort in Long , Hot and Dry Journeys, can re-purpose itself to become an Urban Oasis. In-between Architecture looks at how the present step-well and its architecture has grown to be irrelevant in today,s time and further builds on the dire need of the city to have a public place which is in its true sense, public. The Project creates a pavilion structure without any program or function which acts like a platform for the city and its everyday life to unfold upon. As journeying down in a step-well is an experience, going up this pavilion is journey towards light. The step-well is made relevant by extending it out and above, the motif of the Arch implying that architecturally and by creating spaces of different volumes and character which can harbor different activities and programs. Thus being true to its initial idea of being a platform and giving the city a place to occupy.

The Section shows people inhabit and use the structure. The vav no longer is a dead isolated space which was cut off from its surroundings but now is connected and re-purposed. The structure also allows room to expand and incorporate more activities than its intended use and allows people to appropriate it to their comfort.

PRAVAH AND PRAKAR Mapping and Visualization CEPT campus, Ahmedabad

January 2019

23° 2’14.58”N 72°32’59.85”E

This mapping was an attempt to render visible these Flows, their particular characters, its nature, and the activities that surround it or are generated by it.

This project is about mapping the various Flows of water on CEPT campus. During the monsoons and at various times, people experience water in form of these Flows,on the campus, in their surroundings in many different forms and ways. To speculate a unified, integrated water-sensitive campus, i wanted to tie the places which hold this potential to create awareness regarding the presence, conservation, wastage and other factors regarding water on campus. I wanted my speculative design to be engaging enough to start a conversation or it makes the people feel the presence , while creating a fun, interactive and engaging place. The existing infrastructure tries and replicate the natural flows of water , for drainage purposes, so overlapping the natural Flows and the infrastructural Flows , an engaging dialogue can be generated between the two, and this would provide ample opportunities for a good design which incorporates small functions instead of a big particular purpose.

April 2018

23° 2’14.58”N 72°32’59.85”E

The learning was in making. Construction methods and materials exploration through a pilot design

The exercise was to build a composite structure using materials like brick, concrete, wood, metal and bamboo. For the construction process, the batch of 40 students was divided into 5 groups based on the materials. the strength of each of the group was as follows .Along with this a list of tools and materials were also provided to the students which were to be either bought or issued from the CEPT lab. Apart from this list, tools were bought as when required during the process of construction. We got an overview of the construction process starting from the foundation and going up to the roof. the The objective of systematically understand various aspects of building elements, the sequence of construction, and also joinery with different materials was achieved. Along with the technical aspects, I was exposed to managing and operationalising a small project: market study, procurement of materials, managing finance, etc.

The landscape strategy for saving water and retaining the existing green of the site. The site was mapped in relation to it’s water systems and cycle in the city, and with respect to what Luteyn’s idea of Delhi was. The aim was to re create the sub watershed to its flow, while developing a playful and useful landscape for its residents , the members of parliament, and the environment. The above diagrams show the analysis for the basis of the landscape design plan, and the drawing on the right shows different social landscapes and their placement in the overall master-plan. This project was done for Vastu Shlipa Consultants for their competition entry for MP’s Residence in North - South avenue, Delhi.

Determine Architecture’s role in Fiction of Future

The story revolves around 3 characters- Dukkha, Anicca & Anatta. Delhi 6 is a story set in the distant future, Delhi, where the world no longer performs any biological functions it used to perform, ecosystems are disrupted, seasons do not change, trees don’t grow on their own, babies are not born naturally. One section of the society has taken upon themselves to do these and the other part which has succumbed to mother nature’s way , Showing the two stratas of the society in todays world of rapid changes. The story shows 2 characters coming from these 2 parts and discover the hidden realities of the other part when they decide to meet, in search of the absolute truth of their world. Implying that there may not be a optimum solution for the both aspects but realizing and responding to problems of something other than yourself can help give answers for today’s challenging times. The Architecture of the place is no longer derived from function. Function no longer dictates form. People failed to notice when or how the biological functions slowly started to stop. The earth went to sleep and took its children with them. The city was now a small sanctuary to the few who decided to act. There was a realization that nature is the richest source of inspiration and knowledge that us humans have. The need of the hour was to re-produce these biological functions and processes which the Earth had ceased to do.
